The relief would become applicable with effect from April 1, 2013.

"Changing over to the new system and transfer of a huge data and its cross-checking and verification, the incidents of wrong billing are being reported by the consumers. It is essential to look into the billing errors came up due to the elongated billing period. A few errors are, in fact, due to the earlier manual records," she added.

The payment of such actual arrears can be done by March 31, 2014, through a maximum of six installments. In case, they make payment of full arrears by July 31, 2013, they would become entitled to a further rebate of 30 per cent.
